Tokavuh Stream Control

Early acecss information, things may change!

Tokavuh Stream Control is available on April 24th on Steam.
The software is Early Access, but is completely functional and is already used by streamers around the world. The mobile app is
available on beta at Google Play. iOS version is coming a bit later for testing.

Tokavuh Stream Control is a system for simpler and more comfortable streaming experience.
It can fix the things missing from OBS Studio, like animations, easy scene switching,
handling microphone muting etc. It's especially useful for users without a separate
display to use for monitoring and interacting with OBS Studio.

The system consists of a PC application running on the streaming machine with OBS Studio
(possible to run on another machine also, some features will not work) and any device with
a browser (tablet, phone etc). The PC application is used to
define functions on the button pad and the mobile device will allow the user to control
the stream with these functions showing the button pad.

The buttons can be embedded in folders so the amount is unlimited. In the future there
will be possibility for multiple decks to ease the use when lots of buttons are needed.

Buttons can be programmed to do several things at once. You can, for example,
switch to a Be Right Back scene with animations, mute your microphone and game sounds and turn on some
music with a single button.

The user can also choose to use multiple mobile devices for controlling the system and
the grid size is changeable to allow for more buttons at once especially on tablet screen sizes.

There is no need to purchase separate hardware to control the system since almost any
existing mobile phone or tablet will work as a controller. You can also bind keyboard shortcuts for all
the buttons if you want, which allows you to run everything from your keyboard.

The software supports dual PC setups where you run it on the gaming PC and connect to a
separate streaming PC running the streaming software.

Comparison

The closest similar system to Stream Control is the Elgato Stream Deck. The main difference is you don't need
to buy any hardware to use Stream Control and you have a lot more features available to you. Streamlabs OBS also
has their own app but it is not more than a barebones system.

Note that currently Streamlabs OBS doesn't support all the features Tokavuh Stream Control can do on OBS Studio,
so the experience is not exactly the same with these products.
